From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

Find the 44th percentile, P44, from the following data! pls help

irina [24]

Answer:

$P_{44} = 29.9$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The 44th percentile, $P_{44}$ , of the given data can be calculated using the kth formula for percentile given as:

$i = \frac{k}{100}(n + 1)$

where,

i = the ranking or the position of the percentile = ?

k = the percentile = 44

n = total number of the given data values = 23

Plug in the values into the formula to find "i"

$i = \frac{44}{100}(23 + 1)$

$i = \frac{44}{100}(24)$

$i = \frac{1,056}{100}$

$i = 10.56$

Since "I", 10.56, is not an integer, round the number down, and round it up to the nearest integer, then look for the position each occupy in the ordered data set, and find their average.

Thus,

$i_{down} = 10.56 = 10$
